To many, Austin is an oasis in Texas: progressive, active, and always the host of a popular event. Not only is Austin the Live Music Capital of the World but the city also boasts an array of other activities including mountain biking, rock climbing and water sports.

Austin is marked by a number of neighborhoods, including the trendy South Congress District, the University of Texas campus area, Hyde Park, Barton Hills, and upscale Clarksville and Tarrytown. Zilker Park is the stomping grounds for the Austin City Limits music festival, boasting 351 acres of space for music-lovers to roam. Cyclists will find the town easy to navigate, and you can also get around by Austin's intricate metro system.

With an average 300 days of sunshine year-round, Austin is the ideal spot for outdoor activity. Road and mountain bikers abound, as do the casual walker and joggers along the Hike and Bike Trail that wraps around Town Lake. During the hot months, locals swarm to Barton Springs to cool off.

Austin is a haven for the preferential eater, with an abundance of vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free cuisine. Of course, Austin also clings to its Texan roots with good ol' southern BBQ, and legendary spots such as Salt Lick and Stubb's BBQ will whet any meat-lover's appetite. Tex-Mex also dominates the culinary scene in Austin with favorites such as Chuy's and Curra's. And you can't go to a single coffee shop here without finding breakfast tacos on the menu!
